Normal heat effects, get it resurfaced and use it. I see that on almost every tractor I split.

I machined a pod from bar stock for mine and attached with a hose clamp. Not only handy having it right in your face, but also a max temp line added too for quick reference.

Mine seemed a little tight at first, but it was just a couple thick paint runs in a couple holes in the spacers. They are a great, low profile unit.

I was the only MV I saw, except for one FD deuce.

Even though I had eliminated any problem with wiring/grounds in the truck, I moved all components to the bench. With just one or two LED's, a flasher, direction control, and a power supply, the same problem persists and is still cured by removing the interior pilot light or adding an...

No luck with the new flasher, works the same. I did notice that if I remove the indicator bulb on the directional switch everything works fine. So it seems the power that drives this bulb is backfeeding to the lights through the bulb. Disassembled the switch to check for pinched or shorted...

Thanks for all the input. I test wired in one incandescent in parallel on 460/461 and all 4 LED's worked perfectly. I ordered a new flasher of the same style. I suspect my 3 year old flasher has just developed a problem. Checked every terminal & wire and all grounds are clean and zero...

These fronts are some of the first Grotes, dated '06. I wonder If they dont play well with the newer rears? I remember a post that said they made some changes in '07. My flasher is a new SCR type dated '05. I double checked the wiring, all plugged in correctly. Used test light to verify what...

It flashes normally, just dimmer than before.

Got one. Flashes great, just goes from bright to dim instead of bright to off.

I'll double check. There are multiple circuit code numbers on each of the new lights, but each corrosponds with ones on the truck. 461,491, and 20. Have the ground run right to the frame, and park, blackout and flash functions work fine. Tail lights have been on for months, and worked fine until...

LED turn signal flashing characteristics I've searched for a couple hours already, and didn't see this covered... With incandescent lighting, my deuce turn signals and hazards flashed from bright to off. With front incandescent, and rear Grote LED's they functioned the same. Now I have...

I've got the Moroso spiral muffler, and EGT's do increase faster even with that design. My fuel was turned up prior to installation so I was used to watching the pyrometer. My upper stack was tan carc and never turned pink until I installed the muffler below it. Have thought about removing it...

My local VFD has a 5 ton with the 673 engine. It has the same air filter setup as the multi in their other truck.

There shouldn't be any inspection required. You just sign the form stating it's "substantially in compliance" which is true if all the factory equipment is functional. Would be a good idea to at least add a license light. It's not open to interpretation by the office worker, it's law.

Can't beat that price! My deuce is $240 per year for about 20K lbs max. I think it was the same fee from about 16K to 20K, and then another $100 or so over 20k.

I previewed alot of M35A2 trucks there before I bought mine and about 1/3 had no brakes and a couple had stuck air compressors. I wonder why they don't specify driven/towed onto lot anymore? It does seem the 900's are in better shape, it would be nice if they did the videos on all of them, makes...

No inspection required, just ask for a DOT form 411187.

Went to a meeting with DOT a couple years ago for work. The officer said if they find off road in your road truck, they fine you a base fine plus a fine per gallon of all red fuel in your truck AND on your property regardless of intended end use. He cited an actual case (his words) of a farmer...

I "fixed" my 1960 willys that way when I was a kid kust because I couldn't find a replacement steering box cheap. I wouldn't be too happy if a shop had done this as a fix, especially without asking. It shouldn't be too hard to find the real cause.
